    Sorry for the late announcement, we were told not to release information until the 15th and others already did. I was at home with two sick kids all day and didn’t get to post anything until now.

    If Nightforce gets FFP right than (Which it looks like they did) than they win the internet. But one popular 1-8 FFP that many people fawn over is not that great IMO for reasons I've stated for awhile.

    CS Tactical, what does the ATACR brings to the table over the NX8?

    The exit pupil of the NX8 seems veeery small at 1X, only 7.9 mm, have you tried it? The NXS 1-4x24 has a whopping 16 mm exit pupil at 1X.

    The ATACR exit pupil is 11.3 mm at 1X, not great but certainly better. BTW, if the objective lens is 24 mm then it is impossible to have a 3.19 mm exit pupil at 8X, perhaps the real magnification is about 7.5? Nightforce always kinda "rounds???" the numbers.

    I'm hoping we find out soon if the ATACR is 'worth it' over the NX8. The NX8 should be shipping in the next week or so.
    It will be nice to have them side by side to compare them to see how the numbers match up to them in person.

    Size difference:
